8 years old and 3rd Grade

Another year has gone by.  My baby is officially 8 years old.  We celebrated twice over the weekend.  Big family/friend party on Saturday and ice cream cake on Sunday.




Today was the first day of school.  A 3rd grader.  Where did my little preschooler go?!


I just realized that my 5th blogiversary is coming.  I also just realized that I started my blog on my wedding anniversary!  HA!  I never noticed that before.  I think a giveaway is in order but I'm going to hold off for another month.... when I celebrate my own milestone.  :)

I have been doing a little sewing.  Working on getting some bindings done but I also made a little wallhanging for myself.  I'll show you that soon!

Enjoy your day!

Let me catch you up

Well hello there!  No excuses on my blogging absence.  I just didn't have much to say.

Let me catch you up on the last 6+ weeks or so.

Amelia graduated college and she's off to Super Hero school.  Just kidding.  She successfully passed 2nd grade and on her way to being a 3rd grader and a "book buddy" to a kindergartner.  She's looking forward to that.

Last day of school
Ellyn made Amelia the dress that she wore for her last day of school... 2 years ago!  It finally fit her.  She's a petite little thing.  I wish I had her metabolism.

Her teacher loved the apples wallhanging.  I had Amelia write the label.  She added the last sentence all on her own; "Thank you for this wonderful year".  She really liked her teacher this year.



I had some quilting done by Jill again.  Wonderful job, as usual.  Here are 2 of the pieces I had done.  I finally got my pinwheel quilt (quilt in my header) quilted but I haven't had a chance to trim it up.  I will show you that one soon.  The Valentine heart wallhanging - Carol made one earlier this year and I really like it so I made one myself.  The Lucy's Crab Shack table runner... I pieced it last summer.  Nothing like procrastination at it finest getting it quilted.





Lastly, I made a couple of pillowcases.  Next week, Punk and I are flying the friendly skies to Texas for a mini vacation.  We're off to go spend some time with my BFF and her family.  We haven't seen each other in 3 years.  We email/Facebook pretty much every day so we keep in touch but there's nothing like face to face.  We are all super excited about the trip.  The pillowcases are for her girls.


That's it.  Not much.  Trying to keep cool in this mega heat we've been hit with.  Spending lots of time in the AC and pool.  My sewing room doesn't have AC so it's a bit warm in there.  Probably why I've been staying away from my sewing projects.  I have a few things in the works that I would like to get motivated to finish.

Enjoy your day!

First Day of 2nd Grade

Amelia started 2nd grade this week.  2nd grade.  Time sure flies by.

Feels like yesterday when she started preschool at age 3

look at that sweet little girl.  Oh how I miss her sometimes.  I miss the curls too.
 And here's my 7 year old, 2nd grader (I forgot about the "sign" tradition.  I wish I kept up with it.)

My baby.  All grown up.

Enjoy your day!
Jen
